2.0 out of 5 stars WTF did they do to the drums?, August 9, 2008

This review is from: Rock Band Track Pack: Vol. 1 (Video Game)

First things first: The song selection is pretty good, and the vocal, guitar, and bass aspects of the songs are great, pretty much identical in function and execution to the original game. The drums however? Fuhgettaboudit.

My first gripe: you don't have to earn overdrive. They give the fills to you automagically. This kinda defeats the whole purpose; overdrive is there to help you with the hard parts after you did well in the easier parts. I guess this is a strange gripe, but really annoys me.

My second--and much more significant problem--with the modified drum play is whatever they did to the bass drum (the pedal). I can't tell if they changed the timing, or if it registers a beat differently, but either way playing the drums in RB:TP1 is an absolutely unfun chore. Songs that should be easy, fun, and a blast to play on medium ("Buddy Holly" and "All The Small Things") lose all their potential for enjoyment as soon as you hit the pedal for the first time: you'll spend the rest of the song concentrating on not messing up the beat rather then rocking out with your friends.

I'm not sure what possessed Harmonix to make these changes; I'm going to have to try RB2 before I buy it, in case these changes make it into the sequel (boy, I hope they don't). That said, if you are the singer, guitarist, or bassist for your "rock band" I can't recommend this Track Pack enough; the songs are a blast to play, and there's something in there for everyone.

However I pity my fellow drummers.

4.0 out of 5 stars Rock Band Track Pack makes a great extension of the game, September 15, 2008

The track pack doesn't include as many songs as we would like, but it makes a great extension of the game. When you get tired of the songs in the origional you just pop in the track pack and have more options to choose from. A must have for people who play a lot.
